Abstract Up to now, it has not been clear whether occult hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection (OBI) can be treated with antiviral therapy whether OBI can develop drug resistance gene mutation or not. We report a middle-aged female patient with OBI who showed HBV reactivation (HBVr) during more than 3 years of intermittent entecavir (ETV) antiviral therapy: seropositive HBV surface antigen (HBsAg), increased e antigen (HBeAg), and repeatedly elevated serum HBV DNA. Genotype analysis showed that the patient was infected with HBV type B. Genetic sequencing of HBV showed the mutants of S143T, D144G, and G145R in the S gene region, and the mutant of site 1896 in the pre-Core region coexisted with the wild type (G1896A/G). No mutation was found in other HBV gene segments. Drug resistance gene analysis found RtL229W mutant, resistant to lamivudine but sensitive to ETV and other nucleoside analogs. This case of OBI provides us with the following clinical experiences: Firstly, it is necessary to detect HBV genotype, mutation, and drug-resistant genes at the initial diagnosis, which can be helpful for reasonable treatment. Secondly, identifying the risk factors and mechanisms associated with HBVr could help quantify the risk of HBVr and manage the clinical consequences. Thirdly, the OBI patients with hepatitis B e antigen-positive, HBV DNA > 1 x 10(3) IU/ml should be recommended regular and continuous antiviral therapy as soon as possible to prevent the occurrence of hepatocirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

Note
Basic Characteristics of Mutations
  • Mutation Site: The specific location in a gene or protein sequence where a change occurs.
  • Mutation Level: The level at which a mutation occurs, including the nucleotide or amino acid level.
  • Mutation Type: The nature of the mutation, such as missense mutation, nonsense mutation, synonymous mutation, etc.
  • Gene/Protein/Region: Refers to the specific region of the virus where the mutation occurs. Including viral genes, viral proteins, or a specific viral genome region. If the article does not specifically indicate the relationship between the mutation and its correspondence, the main
  • Gene/Protein/Region studied in the article is marked.
  • Genotype/Subtype: Refers to the viral genotype or subtype where the mutation occurs. If the article does not specifically indicate the relationship between the mutation and its correspondence, the main Genotype/Subtype studied in the article is marked.
  • Viral Reference: Refers to the standard virus strain used to compare and analyze viral sequences.
Functional Impact and Mechanisms
  • Disease: An abnormal physiological state with specific symptoms and signs caused by viral infection.
  • Immune: The article focuses on the study of mutations and immune.
  • Target Gene: Host genes that viral mutations may affect.
Clinical and Epidemiological Correlations
